Abstract :
[en] What Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) can do is impressive, yet they are notoriously opaque. Responding to the worries associated with this opacity, the field of XAI has produced a plethora of methods purporting to explain the workings of DNNs. Unsurprisingly, a whole host of questions revolves around the notion of explanation central to this field. This note provides a roadmap of the recent work that tackles these questions from the perspective of philosophical ideas on explanations and models in science.
